Record snowfall and no power
This was supposedly a record snowfall in the Baltimore-Washington region. We have at least 24-30 inches with higher drifts. Winds knocked out power from around 6:30 am on Saturday until around 2 am on Sunday. I live on a dirt road so there will be no county snowplow. We dug out the driveway & vehicles yesterday & today. Some of the neighbors pitched in and dug out the road, then one neighbor with a bobcat worked on getting it plowed. Good thing that whatever knocked out the power was not our our road, or we'd still be without electricity. I don't have an alternative source of heat, but I do have propane for cooking, though we had to light the burners with a match. Melted snow to wash dishes & used my campers coffee. Couldn't use a match for the oven, but we did light the burners for a few minutes every couple of hours. More shoveling tomorrow, and more snow expected midweek. We are not used to this.
